Leigh Steinberg — the legendary sports agent who inspired Jerry Maguire — joins us to share the most personal and revealing chapter of his life and his recent book, The Comeback: A Playbook for Turning Life’s Setbacks into Victories.. Known for representing more than 300 professional athletes, including eight No. 1 overall NFL draft picks, Leigh built a powerhouse career negotiating over $4 billion in contracts and helping direct more than $750 million to charitable causes.
In this interview, Leigh opens up about the struggles that nearly ended it all: the collapse of his firm, his battle with alcoholism, and the long road to rebuilding trust in an industry where reputation is everything. As highlighted in recent reporting, his comeback required radical transparency, humility, and a willingness to start over from the ground up.
These experiences form the foundation of his new book, The Comeback: A Playbook for Turning Life’s Setbacks into Victories — a powerful blend of behind‑the‑scenes sports stories and hard‑won life lessons. Leigh shares how resilience, reinvention, and honesty helped him rise stronger than ever, offering a playbook for anyone facing adversity or looking to redefine success.
A candid, inspiring conversation with one of the most influential figures in sports — and a roadmap for turning setbacks into your greatest victories.
